There's no way you should be gelled at that temp. By now you should be getting winter blend at all pumps. I was running #2 last week at hunting camp and it was -20 on the coldest night, no problems.
When I tried to start, it would just grunt and not fire, all the while pouring a white cloud out of the exhaust. My brother, a mechanic, said that it was gelled. I added some anti-gel and plugged it in for 3 hours. It finally started and I let it run for 1/2 an hour, then pulled it into the garage and plugged it in.
Anybody have any other suggestions on what may have happened? I never have trouble starting it usually. BTW, it's a 2003 Powerstroke with the 7.3
Its a D-max
Your screwed!! LMAO
If it was smoking white heavily, it was not gelled, probably glow plugs not working.
Buddy at work has an 02 7.3 and had the same symptoms, even when not as cold. WOuld start fine if plugged in, but if not, nothing but smoke. Got new glow plugs and all was well.
